21 Schubert Lieder
Richard King (horn), Susan Teicher (piano)
Why transcribe? The process allows more musicians to experience the magnificence of a previously inaccessible work firsthand. Most of the original elements remain. Style, tonal relationships, form and structure must not be compromised, while still being sensitive to idiomatic features of the new instrument. University of Illinois Horn Professor Kazimierz Machala has been cited by Horn Call Journal for his marvelous skills, and he has found ample new material in Schubert's beautiful songs. Besides, Schubert never wrote any pieces for solo horn, making these arrangements an absolute boon for the avid horn player and all those enthusiastic listeners for whom the horn calls! Richard King began serving as principal horn of the Cleveland Orchestra in 1997, having joined the orchestra as Associate Principal at age 20 in 1988. He is a graduate of Juilliard and Philadelphia's Curtis Institute, and his principal teacher was former Cleveland player Myron Bloom. King is on the faculty of the Cleveland Institute of Music, and as well he has served on the faculties of The Oberlin College Conservatory of Music and Carnegie-Mellon University.

"Richard King...makes Machala's transcriptions sound like the most natural outpouring of Schubertian melody."
